Yara's week
Three routines with a day and a time, one batch job delegated, and a capstone that takes one landing page from brief to handoff pack.
What the week looks like now
The shape of Yara's week did not change. Concepts midweek, client calls at the ends, handoff on Friday. What changed is that the parts that used to eat an evening now run before she sits down, and the parts that need her judgement get the whole afternoon.
Three routines carry it. Each one has a day, a time and an output she reads in under five minutes.
Three routines
Monday, 8:30, brief digest. Reads the new and updated briefs in Notion and returns one page: what came in, the open questions ranked, and for anything genuinely new, three directions with a rationale each. Yara sends the questions before her first coffee is finished.
Wednesday, 9:00, concept round. For each live project, pulls the direction that survived and produces the round: the image prompt set from the shot list, the deck outline, and the list of what she still owes the client. She spends Wednesday afternoon choosing, not preparing.
Friday, 15:00, handoff check. Takes the designs marked ready and runs the four tables plus the accessibility pass. Anything that fails, anything undrawn, anything with invented copy comes back as one list. That list is the last hour of the week.
The batch that goes to Cowork
The Wednesday round needs forty images and none of them need Yara. She hands Cowork the shot list from the mockup stop and the prompt set from the image stop, and asks for the batch generated, named to the convention, filed in the texture and mockup library, with the prompt and licence note written into the running document. She reviews contact sheets, not files. The judgement stays hers because she wrote the shot list.
Capstone
One landing page, brief to handoff, in a single working day.
- Upload the brief and the brand guide. Get the creative brief and the open questions. Send the questions.
- Get three directions. Pick one and say why in a sentence you would repeat to the client.
- Build the mood-board plan, then the prompt set, then the images.
- Section list from the brief. Send it to the client before you draw.
- Mockup in Claude Design with three heroes and real copy. Mobile pass.
- Critique against the brief, then the rules pass with real hex values, then the what a client will say pass.
- The four handoff tables and the developer note. Export the PDF.
- Read the message you are about to send and cut every sentence that describes the build.

Try this
Every Monday at 8:30, check my Notion briefs workspace for pages created or edited in the last seven days. For each one, give me a short summary, the open questions ranked by how much the answer would change the design, and for any brief with no direction yet, three directions with a one-line rationale each. Put the open questions at the top. Keep the whole thing under one page.
Every Friday at 15:00, look at the designs I have marked ready in this Project. For each, produce the tokens table, the scale table, the states table and the copy deck, run the contrast and tap target check against the values in the file, and give me one list of everything that failed, everything undrawn and every string you had to invent. Nothing else.
